Look up a youtube video from big D on oil pump replacement. His simple modification to the pick up tube with a dremel tool makes installation possible and easy without removing or loosening the oil pan. Brilliant video and big time saver

Hi Larry! Vehicle lifter noise on start-up may be caused by several factors, depending on the type of oil filter, oil, lubrication system, mileage and mechanical condition. However, the answer to this is perhaps more complicated than you think. This needs mechanic's expertise to determine. I would suggest taking your vehicle to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis before buying and having parts installed that may not solve or be the problem.

Q:

I have 2007 Chevy truck with 5.3 Lt with 45000 miles I had 50 lb. Pressure one minute none the next . low oil pressure light came on. Oil is full. Outside temp 0 deg. Engine not up to temp. Any ideas?

Hi moose, the first indication of trouble in the oil pump may be a flickering oil pressure warning light or a low oil pressure reading on a dash gauge. If the warning goes unnoticed or is ignored, the next clue that something is a miss may be valve clatter as the hydraulic lifters or lash adjusters are starved for oil and ingest air. However, the answer to this is bit more complicated than you think. This needs an expertise to determine. I would suggest taking your vehicle to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis before buying and having parts installed that may not solve or be the problem.

Q:

Where is the oil pump located on a 01 gmc sierra 1500 2wd automatic 4.8l v8. How easy is it to diy instead of going to a shop

The oil pump on your 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 4.8L V8 should be located at the bottom of the motor. For enough clearance you have to take the oil pan off. For further assistance, please feel free to call us at 1-877-238-2623 or visit your nearest Advance Auto Parts store and one of our representatives would be more than happy to assist you.

Q:

Can the pick up tube cause the lifters to knock at start up. Then go away after a few minutes of running. Only knocks in the morning when I start truck.

Yes, the pick up tube screen could be the possible cause of the problem. However, I would suggest taking your vehicle to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis before buying and having parts installed that may not (solve/be) the problem.

Q:

My truck started having problems last night. The low oil pressure light came on and I could hear a knocking. Their is plenty of oil in the engine. Could this be the oil pump gone out?

The first indication of trouble may be a flickering oil pressure warning light or a low oil pressure reading on a dash gauge. If the warning goes unnoticed or is ignored, the next clue that something is a miss may be valve clatter as the hydraulic lifters or lash adjusters are starved for oil and ingest air. If the motorist keeps on driving in spite of the obvious warnings and audible protests from under the hood, the next sound he hears may be rapping or knocking noises from the rod bearings, which will eventually be followed by dead silence as the engine seizes and the vehicle coasts to a stop. I would suggest taking your vehicle to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis before buying and having parts installed that may not (solve/be) the problem.
